DeLallo Mezzi Rigatoni Pasta, 16 oz Bag, (4 Pack)

Mezzi Rigatoni is a smaller, shorter version of the classic Rigatoni pasta. Associated with both Central and Southern Italian dishes, this hollow short cut of pasta consists of tubes that are marked with ridges. These characteristics give Mezzi Rigatoni pasta has a hearty, chewy texture and is a great shape for capturing sauces and ingredients. DeLallo Pasta begins with a high-quality blend of organic durum wheat. Wheat is chosen for its beautiful color, wonderful aroma and high protein content and is milled into coarse ground semolina flour and then carefully kneaded with cold, fresh, mineral-rich mountain spring water.. Pasta is extruded with bronze dies for a rough surface texture perfect for capturing sauces. True to tradition, we dry our pasta slowly at low temperatures to retain the pasta’s taste, texture and aroma. This pasta is perfect with rich tomato sauces, chunky vegetable sauces that can be scooped up easily in its hollow body, sautéed with red peppers and Italian sausage and in baked pasta dishes.
